(in case those here didn't already know)
The wiki for it is actually quite informative and interesting, especially to those of us with experience in the subject (I've taught virology at least once): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acu...onavirus_2
... from a scientific perspective, what strikes me about this virus is that despite the genome being very large for an RNA virus, it doesn't actually encode that many gene products:
... I'd find it hard to believe that there aren't a number of novel ways to vaccinate against these viruses and/or prevent their entry into human cells...
Edit: oh, and the possible connection to the pangolin poaching trade is sad and disturbing...
